Contested spatialities of renewable energy expansion—Introduction to the theme issue
Renewable energy increasingly complements fossil fuels in meeting rising global energy demand. Yet its rollout is neither even nor free of conflict. This theme issue foregrounds the spatialities and scales of renewable energy infrastructures and examines the deeply contested nature of energy transition efforts. Drawing on case studies from Morocco, Jordan, Namibia, Mexico, Brazil, Peru and Ecuador, the contributions offer insights into recent reg…
Green tech’ geographies
Research on resource frontiers has documented how technologies meant to support global sustainability regularly contribute to regional environmental degradation, social injustices, and political conflicts. However, while such dynamics are inextricably bound to changes in socio-technical systems, many studies consider technology as a boundary condition, rather than an integral part of frontier making. To better understand the processes of de/terri…
A turn to geopolitics
Geographien von Wahlkampf, Medien und Gewalt
Far right movements are waging a battle against pluralistic and democratic societies in Germany and beyond. Insofar as they seek to reorder the relationship between society, power, and space, they are inherently geographical and geopolitical projects. It is therefore no surprise that the rise of a new far right in recent years has sparked attention amongst political geographers. In German political geography, engagements with far right movements …

Biopolitics of migration
Critical research on migration, borders and camps has used the notion of biopolitics to interrogate how sovereign power or the state differentiate and govern the life of mobile populations. Yet despite its popularity, biopolitical theory is not without limitations, particularly when used as an analytic lens for empirical research. Many theorists of biopolitics are concerned with grand historical shifts and binary oppositions between life and deat…
Visions of Climate Control
Various geoengineering technologies that would deliberately alter the climate system have been proposed as a way to alleviate risks of global warming. Technologies that would shield incoming sunlight to cool the planet, so called solar radiation management (SRM), are particularly controversial. Considering insights from social studies of simulation modeling and research on expectations in science and technology, I argue that climate modeling has …
Materialität und Macht im Spiegel der Assemblage-Theorie
Nature and technology are at the core of many ongoing social transformations and political struggles. While constructivist approaches in general and poststructuralist theories in particular point to the discursive negotiation of materiality, they have so far failed to adequately account for its constitutive role in stabilizing and destabilizing social relations. We argue that theories based on a "flat ontology" offer a way to re-materialize socia…
